    Makes sense! I'll look into that more.

    I was looking for a lower voltage alternative. I've seen people use DC wheel chair motors, but I know you need some sort of position control which could be avoided using a servo motor.

    However, the plug and play of the AMC-AASD15A is tempting!

    DC wheelchair motors, new or used, are a popular choice.

    There are many DC controller options, but keep in mind cheap tends to indicate clones and some of those have reliability issues: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/motor-drivers.11/category
